Ive been considering liposuction and have heard about a new technology called ultrasonic. What makes it unique and is it safe?
A. Ultrasonic (UAL) involves the use of high-energy sound waves to soften and liquefy fat before it is removed. We use the Mentor system which allows smaller incisions due to more advanced technology to cool the probe without requiring the insertion of a plastic skin protector. The probe is advanced through tiny incisions into the site and is especially effective in areas where fat is firmer and more difficult to remove with traditional liposuction. The best areas for ultrasonic liposuction include the upper abdomen, back rolls, waist and enlarged male breasts.
